Good Afternoon All, I wanted to share with you a poem I wrote "to my ex-husband" about a week prior to me leaving him for good. I wrote the poem to tell him how I felt yet didn't send it to him til after I was gone. It's not the best, but I hope yall are comforted by the fact that you are not alone. I'm Leaving..... If ever you wake up and I am not here I was given the strength to no longer fear. I'm tired of the lies and other women of course. The beatings the punching there's no reason for force. The marks on my body may indeed go away But these pains in my heart will forever stay. How can you do this to someone you love A wife is to cherish like heaven above. A woman wasn't put here to be ANY man's slave. Remember your mother and how your life she gave. Would you strike your own mother I bet that you would For I mothered your children and you show them that it's good. I gave you my heart and you tore it in two There IS nothing more that THIS woman will do. So when you do read this please be aware That I'm leaving, NO, I left For no more scars will I wear!
